So this is a prototype. Ok. So here’s the problem. Reflectance sensors have been used for years as blink detectors but they are crummy. There is really only one (technically two) on sale the aBlink x https://key2enable.com/produtos/a-blinx/ and the words plus IST box. But heads up. They are notoriously tricky to position. Now if someone would like to release the source code of an arduino based reglevtance sensor with a DECENT algorithm for detection of blink and allow for altering if sensitivity via a pot - and maybe some indication when it’s likely to have moved .. that might help!! The glasses mount helps but it’s never that straightforward. Other approaches work ok. Like using a Eyegaze camera but they some - like Tobii - have stopped adding that feature. I recommend looking at https://acecentre.org.uk/resources/eyecommander if you want blink detection on a desktop device. For hesdmouse - the software solutions are now on par with the physical headmice. Look at smylemouse. Or for a freebie http://www.cameramouse.org/downloads.html on windows (there are others. Google it).
